    Wow, this tour was fascinating. Linda was our incredibly knowledgable guide and was amazing! I've been learning more about this topic from the Witches of Scotland podcast and this tour helped me connect some historical dots. It was so powerful seeing and being in the places in person, where people were wrongly accused, persecuted and executed. Incredibly moving. Wish I could give it more stars!

    I just wanted to thank Linda for the wonderful tour she gave on Saturday afternoon. I really learned a lot about witch-hunts, specific stories regarding the 'witches' who lost their lives in Edinburgh, and side stories that you can only learn when wandering in the city. Highly recommended, especially with gloves and a scarf ;)

    We really enjoyed this walk. Linda is very passionate about the persecution of the women wrongly accused of being witches, and how this still resonates today. It was very educational. Since the tour, we've also studied some of the references that Linda showed us. Highly recommended

    We learned so much history on this one and interesting lore! Some haunted places were pointed out as well. I loved this tour, even in the cold rain!

    What to expect

    1

    Royal Mile

    You’re invited to listen carefully and perhaps think again... You’ll be transported back to a dark time ruled by a crazed king and his obsession with the dark arts, ‘otherworldly phenomenon’. Join us to walk the cobbled paths of Edinburgh’s Old Town and its centuries-old closes.

    Duration 60 minutes
    2

    St Giles' Cathedral

    Hear stories about the persecution of the weak, the wise and skilled, inflamed by religious zeal.

    Duration 15 minutes
    3

    Witches well

    Our tour ends at the location where Scotland’s witches were once executed, and are now remembered. The Witches' Well is a monument to accused witches burned at the stake in Edinburgh, and is the only one of its kind in the city.

    Duration 15 minutes

    The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
